@Foregoneconclusion what happened - that looks rather bad squashed and scared cows? Did it work out OK in the end.

The term comes from the non-elected people [civil] that undertake the wishes of their masters [so are servants] - masters are not I and you, but those that have been politically elected. They are servants of politicians - not us. They are there to see the implementation of the wishes of their...

You WHAT!

@hoff135 how did it go?

This is going to be really difficult - the one thing that you don't want is an endemic infection in livestock that people are in regular contact with. Many infections from cattle to human will die out because the mutation only made it Cattle -> Human, but it failed on the Human -> Human version...

@DrWazzock As this is probably the new normal I would take a number of fields that are roughly as bad all over and try different things. Keep it simple and always to the same things from West to east or whatever so there is no keeping accurate records [unless that is your thing] It limits your...

Pete most of safety is in design - walkways, commercial and retail seperate etc. But I think most important is to start where you did - which is how can I keep stupid people [some are not children] safe. I recommend IOSH managing safely course F2F not online - done well it really helps you keep...

@Gerbert How do farmers take this? It sounds like flim flam <rubbish> - but in fairness managing water is known better with you than almost anywhere else in the World. How is going down?

I wish to register disonance in the ether - what are these shiny things doing in the stockmans tractor thread - I am bemused and confused.

@George from SJM Planning Is this one you can help with?

@Farmer Roy What is the best way for you to get your rain, all in one go or slow and steady? I know that you are grateful for any because when it doesn't you're stuffed - but what suits you and what do you get?

Those that control the market want farmers to have an Uber driver relationship them. No contract, price is according to their say and if you fail another will come along that will do it cheaper. This is going to be hard battle. I don't feel the NFU is going to help on this one. I do hope the...

Stand back and I would recommend find him someone to discuss his decisions with apart from you. I know that probably hurts and maybe should have DM'ed, but the he lives in his time, age and responsibilities, and you have a different view. I think this may apply to a lot of farmers and their...

It seems the weather is finally with you - so pleased you are getting a chance to make money rather than finding painful and soul destroying ways to lose it. Bank that gold and hope you find a way to spread the risk - last time was so deep it needs planning to survive. Go well, be good, may...

I'm glad your son took time getting to an outcome, There are times when you have to take a decision, and it may not be the best of the options - but doing nothing was no longer sensible. That was very complex and it is good he took his time. Doing nothing was not viable. Support him, because...

Was it a particular tup causing the the prolapses or just the year?

That is not too shoddy, at 11 years old she had given you 14 calves . That is actually really quite useful. Did you get any heifers that weren't freemartins o were they all genetic twins?

I just wondered what was going on in Covid world and realised that this needed to be said some https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking is needed - and I totally realise won't be listened to - but hope it might help bring some civility to the topic* Notable points: Critical thinking...

Hope you hung onto the genetics, sounds like the perfect cow.

There is no question that equality should lie at the heart. Once it involves money the original aim sometimes gets lost in the greed. I can understand their hesitancy.
